She and her half-sister are the only two chicks I got from my FAVORITE hen pre-Bear Incident. They're both really pretty medium-sized hens that prolifically lay smaller, highly patterned eggs so they're going be part of the foundation of my rainbow pet/egg line

So are you saying that silver is always a boy? How can we tell difference between silver and blue? Man those colors are always so similar and I’m an artist! lol but when people say “blue” or grey, silver, lavender, platinum it’s like the shades are so close and all look like shades of grey to me essentially they are but with different “hues”
So what does this entail? This sounds cool
It has taken me a lot of study to even be able to *guess* at most of the blue/grey shades. See the first pic I posted of the partial tux silver male, vs the blue hen above? I am still trying to confirm they are the same gene with a gender color split but there is some anecdotal evidence to suggest that's the case. Following that, I would guess yours is a boy. My blue hens have always had dark feet as chicks. Lavender is another very similar looking but distinct gene, no clue what creates charcoal yet, and all the platinum/cream/pastel colors are called different things by practically every breeder.So are you saying that silver is always a boy?

Ok so back to this - male female silver blue thing - have to explain that lol now remember I’m on little sleep here - I sleep next to the brooder and incubator on the floor on hatch nights on a bed made of pillows and blankets I know it sounds a bit nutty... and now I’m sleep deprived happy momma
